Highlanders Fall Short to Tiffin, 1-0
Box Score
Houghton, N.Y.- The Houghton Highlanders
fell short in the Region IX Championship game losing to Tiffin University 1-0
today. The Highlanders came against an aggressive Tiffin defense that physically
took Houghton out of their game.
Tiffin University Goal Keeper Jen Rosseit repelled
the Houghton offense with 7 saves, literally keeping the visitors in the lead.
The Highlanders battled in every possession narrowly missing numerous goal
attempts.
The Highlanders will now likely wait upon the NAIA
National Tournament Selection Committee for the possibility of an "at large" bid
due to the Highlanders #3 national ranking.
Houghton College
has deep
and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique
emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected
by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door
for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
